The best part about all this is how much all of y'all seem to have fallen in love with Corby. You also have to realize that I don't think Rhyner was quite the mentor to Corby that Corby thinks he was.

It's like all of y'all forgot at the end how bad Corby and Rhyner were together. It was almost painful to listen to because of who Corby had become an Rhyner was sick of his ***** I personally don't think Rhyner left the ticket, I think he left Corby.

corby is almost universally disliked here. some folks tolerate him but i can't think of any outspoken fans. and it has been that way for a decade or more. who is it that has "fallen in love" with him?

I'd be bitter too if I woke up every morning realizing I was going to talk to Corby for several hours. Or rather, get talked at by Corby. Hell on earth.

A few observations:
--Morning show is an awkward mess that hurts to listen to. Zero rapport and chemistry. Should have forced these people to sit in a room together a few days to see if they could build some sort of cohesion.
--Rhyner sincerely confusing NIL and LIV and not getting his arse whipped for it by his cohorts is a massive problem.
--Shows feel ill-prepared and struggling to come up with material to fill segments.

I would love this to work and be an alternative to The Ticket or at least push the Ticket a bit, but for now..."This team sucks."

No kidding. Bashing rhyner for his give up and lack of entertainment value is not falling in love with Corby. There isn't a better way to show that you don't keep up with the ticket thread than by saying people love Corby. It's constant Corby bashing.

For those of you waiting to see how long it would take OGW to flub the station name, he did a full-voiced "on the Ticket" at about 6:30 last night.

DJ Merritt of EDGE Club fame is? Nice.

As for this from above:

Rhyner thinking anyone wants to listen to him anymore, let alone enough people want to listen to him to take down the ticket, is comical.

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I fall directly into the category of someone that is very interested in listening to him again (plus Grubes is a huge bonus for me) and tuned out the Ticket many years ago mostly after a good 15 year run or so. I haven't given it a shot this week yet but reading the comments here is interesting.

Sounds kind of all over the place after the first few days but anything that hurts Corby's feelings is just alright with me.

Absolutely insane take re: the morning show. The chemistry is incredible. Cavanaugh and KT have been close friends for years, and roommates at one point. They worked together at The Fan and also at The Eagle before the format switch this week. Of all the takes that I have seen in various places about the new station, the most consistent one is that The Speakeasy (morning show) has amazing chemistry so quickly into this run

If you hadn't tuned out the ticket many years ago, I don't think you'd be very interested in rhyner these days. Perhaps you tuned out before his 100% give up kicked in. But even if Mike is putting forth effort, he's just not my cup of tea. I find him very boring and don't find him funny. So you probably like him better than I do.

I love Sirois, and have flipped over a few times in the evenings to give it a shot. Maybe it's just bad timing but each of the 3-4 times I've turned it on I've been spared to death bc it's Rhyner talking about something boring (his radio history, baseball, baseball, and "get to know questions).

If they let Sirois take control maybe it can be Interesting. But I feel bad for Sirois, going from Norm to Rhyner. It's a slight upgrade but still drastically hampers what Sirois could do with a legit sidekick host.

This.

The amount I listened to the Ticket has plummeted since COVID. Part of it is due to work from home/less commute, but a bigger part is that it has become stale.

When a segment is teased, I can accurately predict the response of every host before the segment begins. It has become predictable and uninteresting.

I'm hopeful that The Freak may offer something new and/or force The Ticket to make some changes.

I completely agree with this view and when you add the PC outlook of most of the hosts at The Ticket it really just rubs me the wrong way.

I am really hoping that the Freak will stay away from being PC on anything. I realize that many in this type of venture are typically more PC than those in my circle but you don't have to bring it into discussions.

Yeah, it sucks knowing with 1000% certainty that every ticket host voted for Biden

And every ticket host was in lockstep when it came to covid/masks etc

This is either the best troll or saddest post I've seen in quite some time.

Politics. Fun.

This is my exact response any time The Ticket touches anything slightly related to Politics, COVID, Vaccines, BLM, etc.

Unfortunately, those topics find there way into a decent portion of their segments.

With your posting history, you would think you would welcome politics.

But bottom line - some of you think it's healthy that the entire ticket is aligned politically? That there isn't one dissenting voice?

healthy…for a sports radio station? What does that even mean

Lets be real here, people get more upset because the ticket isn't politically aligned with their beliefs more than them injecting politics.

Yes. It doesn't matter at all. Not even a little bit.

For me, it's more about the fact that I really don't care how they line up politically and would rather not know this at all. I don't tune into non-political programming to get political. I tune into this type of programming to get away from politics.
